Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

The total cost of goods sold  = $70,000

Explanation:

Given:

Initial inventory at the start of the year for Jackson Co. = $20,000

Total cost of purchases made during the year = $80,000

Inventory remaining at the end of the year = $30,000

Solution:

Total inventory for Jackson Co. during the year = \$20,000+\$80000= \$100,000

Inventory remaining at the end of the year = $30,000

The cost of the goods sold can be calculated by subtracting the remaining  inventory from the total inventory.

Thus, cost of goods sold can be given as :

⇒ \$100,000-\$30,000

⇒  \$70,000

The total cost of goods sold  = $70,000

Answer:

The adjusting entry for uncollectible accounts on December 31, 2021:

Debit Bad debts expense $9,600

Credit Allowance for uncollectible accounts $9,600

Explanation:

During 2021, Pave Construction provides services on account of $124,000. By the end of 2021, cash collections on these accounts total $92,000.

The balance of uncollected accounts on December 31, 2021 = $124,000 - $92,000 = $32,000

Pave estimates that 30% of the uncollected accounts will be uncollectible.

Estimated uncollectible = 30% x $32,000 = $9,600

The adjusting entry for uncollectible accounts on December 31, 2021:

Debit Bad debts expense $9,600

Credit Allowance for uncollectible accounts $9,600

Elena L [17]

Answer:

Probability, P(n) = 3/8

Explanation:  Let standard delivery be S and express delivery be E.

I) When the parcels were sent:

S(n) = 75/100 and E(n) = 25/100

II) When the parcels arrived:

S(n)← = 80/100 and E(n)← = 95/100

The probability a record of a parcel delivery is chosen, P(n) = S(n)*E(n) + E(n)*S(n) = 75/100*25/100 + 25/100*75/100

P(n) = 3/16 + 3/16 = 6/16

∴ P(n) = 3/8
